I decided to make this thread for others who decided to come back to try Diablo 1 again, or the newbies looking to explore Diablo's roots while making the game playable for modern era computing. I lost a bunch of my old programs made over the years and had to search them all through various threads/sites again, so I decided this would help out other players.
List of additional programs below:

[Networking] IPXWrapper - XP/VISTA/7 - Tested working with 1.07, 1.09

[Utility]DiabloClicker2 - XP/VISTA/7 - Tested working with 1.09
What it does:
DiabloClicker2 simulates mouseclicks for you as you hold down the button, making it useful for not having to wear down the mouse... especially for Warriors and Rogues.

[Utility]DiabloStats - XP/VISTA/7 - Tested working with 1.09
What it does:
DiabloStats uploads your multiplayer character information to the Tristr.am server, where you can see your character stats, information online. It also tracks down the headcount of total monsters killed by a hero while running in the background (this does not include kills made without the utility). Instructions to set up the program is listed at the Downloads section of the originating site.
Warning: Don't run this with IPX/IPXwrapper as it causes Diablo to crash in both XP and 7.

[Modification] Stash / Stash items at Gillian the Barmaid - XP/VISTA/7 - Works with 1.09 only
What it does:
This modification for Classic Diablo 1 converts Gillian to a stash. You can now transfer items easily between characters or keep the certain items you don't taking up space in the inventory into the stash. This was created by our Lurking Lounger Ulmo. This mod receives criticism and praise from both ends of the legit Diablo spectrum, so respect other players who have varying opinions.
Warning: This does not work on Battle.net, but it is tested working in IPX(wrapper) and Direct Connection.
You need a PlugUlmo.dll file which is not included in the original zipfile (by mistake?) - in the mirrored version of the upload, it is included for you.

[Plugin] PCX filetype viewer for Paint.NET
What it does:
This allows you to open .PCX filetypes in the Paint.NET program, a freeware graphics editor (www.getpaint.net). You can create a screenshot in Diablo 1 by pressing the "Print Screen" (PrtScr) button on your keyboard and it will generate a screen##.PCX in your running Diablo directory, where ## is a consecutive number of images in the location. You need Paint.NET installed to be able to use this plugin.
